Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy

"Gong-Nian." His voice grew colder.@@novelbin@@

Gong-Nian bit her lip, ultimately releasing her hold on him.

"This is Peking City; the Wei-family doesn't have the guts to touch you here. Don't let your imagination run wild. Just rest well."

"Okay." She nodded, her voice choked with sobs.

She looked at him earnestly, "Yanshi, you won't abandon me, right?"

Her eyes were red, and tears rolled down once more, "Only you can help me. Even my mom doesn't care if I live or die. She just wants me to maintain a marriage alliance with Wei Chengze to solidify the family business and please my dad. You're all I have."

"Ever since I was little, it's only been you..."

Gong-Nian first came to the Gong-family at the age of eight, cautious and living a humble and aggrieved life. She resided in Tongluo Lane, where the wealthy and noble of Peking City dwelled, and she became the most humble existence among the children there, laughed at and bullied.

"Drag-along, drag-along! Gong-Nian is a drag-along!"

If it weren't for Shen Yanshi's protection, she wouldn't have been able to blend into the circle of children in the lane.

"I won't abandon you." He said solemnly.

Gong-Nian finally felt at ease, nodding through her tearful eyes, "I knew it, you would never abandon me."

After leaving the Gong-family, Shen Yanshi took a detour to the Shen-family's manor.

The family had urged him several times, but he had always excused himself for being too busy.

In the expensive commercial district of Peking City, this quiet lane amidst the hustle and bustle, where not even the noise of traffic could be heard, stood a solitary building with roses peeking over the courtyard walls.

Shen Yanshi's car entered the courtyard, and the servants excitedly shouted, "The young master is back!"

He got out of the car, handed the keys to a servant, and strode inside.

"You still know to come back! I see this family doesn't even exist in your eyes!" Shen Congyan rebuked harshly.

"Enough, enough. Yanshi rarely comes home, why are you doing this? You father and son, always starting arguments the moment you meet," Zhu Hongyu quickly smoothed things over.

"I'm going to see Grandpa."

"Your grandpa hasn't been well lately; he's already asleep at this hour. You sure pick your times to come back!" Shen Congyan huffed.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow." He had no patience to spar with Shen Congyan.

"Stop right there!" Shen Congyan scolded, "Do you think this is a marketplace? Come and go as you please? You don't even greet your parents when you return?"

Shen Yanshi gave a sarcastic smile, "Parents?"

Shen Congyan's face faltered, unnerved by his gaze, and quickly changed the subject, "I heard you're helping Gong-Nian with her divorce case? The Gong-family and Wei-family's marriage alliance, why are you meddling? If this causes enmity with the Wei-family, it could bring trouble to our Shen-family."

Shen Yanshi's gaze swept over to Shen Jun, who smiled and said, "Such a big matter, we can't keep it from the family. After all, the Shen-family's business isn't just for you, the third brother, alone."

Shen Yanshi's eyes darkened, hands in his pockets, "If I dare to do it, I'm naturally confident in dealing with the Wei-family. With so many eyes waiting for me to slip up, I'll naturally be careful."

"What kind of talk is that? Do you think I, as your father, am hoping for you to make mistakes?!" Shen Congyan scolded.

"Ah, Yanshi and Gong-Nian have had an extraordinary relationship since they were young. Helping her now is only right. Who knows, this might even lead to a good match. Yanshi hasn't had a serious girlfriend to date, and he skips out on arranged dates. Marriage is crucial. Once Gong-Nian is divorced, wouldn't that be perfect..."

"Nonsense! Our Shen-family picking up the Wei-family's discarded woman, what would that look like?" Shen Congyan pointed at Shen Yanshi with fierce words, "I tell you, don't even think about marrying Gong-Nian. You might be able to lose face, but our Shen-family cannot!"

Zhu Hongyu sighed, "What you're saying... If you don't fancy Gong-Nian, do you prefer those actresses from the entertainment circle? Compared to them, at least Gong-Nian is someone we know well."

Shen Yanshi looked coldly at Zhu Hongyu stirring the pot, and said indifferently, "In this lifetime, aside from prostitutes, there's nothing else I look down upon."
